The Shave-
Just a quick update. Had a very nice shave today and I am BBS! I’m not sure about the AS, it stays on the skin kinda heavy. We shall see. Life is good!
 
Speaking of Aramis...we watched the Three Musketeers on Disney+ a couple days ago; fun throwback. I don’t remember it being so “adult” in some aspects though lol.

A quick update. Crazy busy work week, but I have managed my early morning shaves. Broke out the fancy gear and had a great shave today and I think this knot will break in just fine. I don’t do the fridge thing, I just use it. I am off work and done. Got a couple of nice Ribeyes to throw on the grill this evening. Life is good!

Hit the ground running very early on Saturday and didn’t have time to shave before I left. Finished off the day with a shower and shave. 3 nice easy passes with no AS. Vey nice.

The Shave-
Late morning shave to start the day. I kept the Haslinger, which delivered really good post shave feel last night. I also have a puck of Haslinger Honey. I think I’ll put that in a tin for a travel soap. That will give me lots of AS options to choose from. Also had the new Graydog Boar on deck again. The brush has been losing 2-3 hairs per shave, but it will stop eventually. I am really digging this TGN knot. It has plenty of backbone, but not as rigid as some of the Omegas. The hair is on the softer side, closer to a Zenith boar. It holds and releases lather well, in addition to painting. It is also starting to splay nicely with just the bit of usage it has. This is a keeper and should provide years of service. Another very nice 3 pass shave this morning and I’m ready for the day. Life is good

The Shave-
Nice shave this morning with my first SR. This is a Swedish Three Ranners that was a sight unseen purchase from WhippedDog. It’s a nice razor and heavier than my others. Looks like it needs a bit of cleaning. Hm ... ok gotta go.
